I got Rydon after much research and a few pricy mistakes, great glasses and that's what I'd do again.
There is a discount code - USPSA, makes it cheaper by about $100 for the set that comes with 5 sets of lenses. In fact, I used them tonight at IDPA Classifier and practice.
Love them.
 
RUDY.,...you can get the set for shooting at a discount with a code from the Brian Enos forums. you can also get a good deal if you are a USPSA member. I could order you some as I have a USPSA membership.
 
I have both, halfjacket and rudy.
For shooting over a longer time, like a 6 hours match or so, rudy wins.
Half jacket have few problems, arms/temples are to tight and they make mark on my skin above the ear. I need to fix them on my hat. And when shooting prone or going prone I had one accident when somehow frame, lens part were elevated and cover my view.
Halfjacket excellent sun glasses to go to the beach, but for shooting rudy.
 
The Rudy's are far more comfortable to wear for an entire day on the range. The M frames really dig into the side of my head (the Half Jackets were much better)...

the Rudy's on the other hand are fully adjustable. I have the set with the 5 lenses...and I find over the course of the season (in, out, rain, shine...) I find a use for them all...
 
Been through Oakley, Sunbuster, now using Rudy.
Oakley M didn't fit well, (For me)
I wear the Razors daily now, though.
Sunbuster were great, just seemed a bit fragile, was always scared they would break in the middle of a match.
Rudy offers a scratch warranty.
All good choices.

Whatever you do, don't go cheap. Untired eyes are essential to good shooting and cheap optics in front of you wears your eyes out.
 
I like the new Radar Range series from Oakley. The arms are much flatter and don't push your earprotection off of your ears like the MFrames do.
 
Rudy's for me now. Used Oakley (various) for years and switched last season to Rydon's with a single photochromic lens. I prefer either clear or neutral Grey depending on light intensity, and since this lens adjusts to light conditions automatically I don't have to risk the chance of scratching it while swapping lenses.

I'm very happy with the Rudy's.
 
Princess Auto safety glasses. When they get scratched, I spend $4.00 on another pair and put the old one's in my garage next to the bench grinder.
